Interesting. I guess one day they'll also include an active/passive switch with passive tone roll off. String thru body option would also be nice

There have been stingray models before with string-thru. Someone will correct me, but my understanding of why they've never offered a passive switch is that the parallel wired pickups don't have enough output to be useful without the preamp?

Impressive. Everytime I watch a video with Sterling Ball talking, I cant help but be impressed. There is something so organic and craftsman like in the way they go about things in each of his videos I have seen, and makes me proud to play a Ray. Maybe it's also just the passion that is clearly visible.

Yes. I experimented with adding a passive option, with tone control to mine. Very lacklustre and uninspiring tone.
